17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

The White Cloud, Head Chief of the Iowas - A Glimpse into Native American Leadership and Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The White Cloud, Head Chief of the Iowas" a remarkable oil painting by George Catlin. The portrait depicts an esteemed leader from the Iowa tribe, known for his influential role in their community during 1844-45. Adorned with a magnificent feathered headdress and tribal markings etched onto his skin, The White Cloud exudes strength and authority. His piercing gaze reflects wisdom earned through years of leadership experience. Wearing traditional animal skin attire embellished with bone necklaces and tusks, he personifies the rich cultural heritage of his people. However, this powerful image also carries a poignant story within its brushstrokes. Tragically, The White Cloud met an untimely demise when struck by an arrow shot by a Pawnee boy near the Missouri River at Iowa Point. This detail adds depth to our understanding of Native American history and intertribal conflicts that shaped their lives. Preserved in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, this masterpiece serves as a testament to Catlin's dedication to documenting indigenous cultures during America's westward expansion era. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only the physical appearance but also glimpse into the spirit and resilience embodied by leaders like The White Cloud. As we admire this print capturing Native American heritage, let us honor their legacy while acknowledging their struggles
